• I’ve been raw on and off for a long time. The first time I went raw was back in 1971 (that’s not a typo!) Way back then, we didn’t have dehydrated anything, or nut pates, or fancy schmancy raw foods. I went to a naturopath who put me on a diet of fr…

• Kristin, You are of course correct. Not only unfair but illegal. Well, probably not illegal since I changed some of the wording. But, in any case you are right and I’ve removed the recipe. FWIW, I posted it thinking it would inspire people to buy th…

• Lyn-doe, I’ve posted the recipe from the Cafe Gratitude cookbook here: http://goneraw.com/recipes/2327-Tiramisu I haven’t tried it either at the restaurant or from the book but it looks amazing! Let us know how it comes out.

• I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Sedona. They have a raw restaurant 89a, right next to the Red Planet diner. There’s another good restaurant, D’Lish, on 89a and Dry Creek Road on the West side of town that has several raw options, including nut mil…

• Two more things, Salt increases pain and irritation generally, so eliminating ALL salt and all foods that contain added salt will help. And remaining very well-hydrated reduces pain. A lot. So slosh down that water like crazy.

• First off, I don’t have experience with this particular problem… BUT!! I have been raw (on and off) since 1971 and have done a lot of reading and research in the field of alternative health… so… IMHO, one approach is to look for the superfood/herb/n…

• I have the Blend-Tec, actually a K-tec (same company). I bought it about 5-6 years ago and I love it. It’s well enough designed that I have almost never needed to re-adjust the contents to get it to blend. It really is a workhorse. There is a hole i…

  in BlendTec Owners: Is it "better"? Comment by greenie
• kminty3, I used to juice a lot and almost never do it anymore since I started with the green smoothies. I just like them more, they feel like more of a complete food. I feel better when I drink them. And it is soooo much easier to rinse out the blen…

• Yes, I do it all the time. The spaghetti noodles are a little thick, but otherwise just fine.

• I agree with all the responses here so far (except I’m not annoyed by the question). Raw food is about nourishing your body, not starving it. What helps me feel satisfied are: 1) green smoothies; and 2) Fruit fruit fruit! Somehow eating pieces of fr…

• Dain5000, That class sounds amazing. Could you post the recipes? BTW, I have an Excaliber 4 tray. I returned the 9 tray because it was so loud.

• Pam, Thanks for all your replies on this topic. Really helpful. The Borner is super sharp, too. I’m very careful when handling it. Unfortunately, the Bron is out of my budget for now. Sigh.

  in borner v-slicer Comment by greenie
• My problem with the Borner is being able to apply even pressure without getting cut. The little gripper doesn’t do a good job, everything seems to slip and slide all over the place, or get caught in the blade. I’ve used it to make lasagna noodles ou…

• Is the Bron really good? I have the Borner, got it because of all the rave reviews, and figured I’ve been ruining good veggies because I don’t know how to use a mandoline (this is my first. Is the Bron a whole lot better?

• Well it looks like the soybella will work but I bet you will still have a mess to clean it out. I don’t mind straining the nut milk, in fact I kinda like it. Pressing the beautiful rich white milk through the bag makes me feel a little like I’m milk…

  in Soyabella nut press? Comment by greenie
• The soybella has a raw option for nutmilks. It lets you use the grinder without the heater. I don’t have one-or need one, since I have a K-Tec blender-but it looks like a wonderful product for the price.

  in To have a champion juicer or to not? Comment by greenie
• The Champion doesn’t do greens very well and will not juice wheat grass at all. You need another kind for that. Check these out: http://www.living-foods.com/marketplace/wheatgr… Note that they sell the Green Star single- and twin-gear juicers, too. …
